He bogeyed his opening hole but played his next nine in 3 under. That puts him 7 under overall and three back. He’s certainly right in this.

UPDATE No. 17 (3:55 p.m. ET): No pars on the front nine.

What a wild day so far from Finau. He bogeys the ninth to go out in 3-under 32. That would be seven birdies, one bogey, on triple. What a front nine! He’s 1 over for the tournament and currently one off the cutline.

UPDATE No. 16 (3:35 p.m. ET): What is going on with Tony Finau??

He triple bogeyed the sixth to blunt his hot start but then birdies Nos. 7 and 8. That’s right, 7 birdies and a triple bogey in this round. WOW.

He’s back to even par, as he’s 4 under on the day.

UPDATE No. 15 (3:20 p.m. ET): Tiger Woods is off and he birdies Nos. 2 and 3 to move to 2 under. Strong start for TW.

UPDATE No. 13 (2:20 p.m. ET): Schwartzel pars his final hole for his own 63. That puts two 63s on the board and a near 63 from Kiz.

The South African is just three back at 7 under. Here’s the current top 10 leaderboard:

UPDATE No. 12 (1:45 p.m. ET): Kisner actually bogeys the last for 64.

That gives Gary Woodland (64-66) a one-shot lead at 10 under. That’s where he started the day. His 10-under 130 sets the PGA record for lowest score through 36 holes. The previous record was 131, shared by six players.

Also, Charl Schwartzel is 7 under through 17 on his round. A birdie means 62. Par means another 63. He’s 7 under overall.

UPDATE No. 11 (1:30 p.m. ET): We have a 63!

It’s actually come from Brooks Koepka thanks to a late birdie. The U.S. Open champ rockets to 8 under and within two.

Kevin Kisner, now tied for the lead with Gary Woodland, is 7 under on his round playing the last. So another 63 could be on the way in moments.

UPDATE No. 10 (1:08 p.m. ET): This is getting serious!

Kisner birdies the seventh (his 16th) to snatch back the solo lead at 10 under. It also puts him 7 under for the day on a par 70. So yes, a par-par finish means he shoots 63. If he can play them in 1 under, it’s a 62, tying the major championship mark set by Branden Grace in the third round of the 2017 British Open.

If Kisner closes birdie-birdie, we have a new record! The eighth is a par 5, FYI.

He’s in a tie for the lead with Kisner. Still plenty of red numbers, though. Koepka is still 7 under and Dustin Johnson has joined him! The World No. 1 has birdied five of his last six holes to rocket back to 7 under.

Adam Scott and Charl Schwartzel are both 6 under for their rounds and overall. Just a birdie bonanza today!

Gary Woodland birdies Nos. 2 and 3 (his 11th and 12th holes) and races back up to 10 under and back into the solo lead. Kevin Kisner is still 9 under after three pars to start his final nine. Brooks Koepka is solo third at 7 under.

UPDATE No. 7 (11:53 a.m. ET): Your two-time defending U.S. Open champion is also on fire.

Brooks Koepka is 6 under on his round through 12 holes and 7 under overall. That puts him just two off the lead right now.

Kisner birdies the 17th to reach 8 under. He’s already 5 under on his round and a par at the 18th means he goes out in 30 (he started on No. 10). Gary Woodland, though, eagles the 17th to also reach 8 under.

They now co-lead and are three ahead of the rest of the field.

UPDATE No. 4 (10:50 a.m. ET): Adam Scott is making noise.

The Aussie (starting on No. 10) goes out in a flawless 4-under 31, and he’s suddenly within three at 4 under overall.

Kevin Kisner birdies Nos. 10, 11, 13 and 15 to rocket to 7 under and the lead by one shot. (He began his round on No. 10).

Remember, Kiz led or co-lead after each of the first three rounds of the PGA last year before closing in 74 to finish T-7.

If that sounds familiar, Kisner did the same thing (lead or co-lead after each of the first three rounds) at the Open Championship. He ended up T-2 there. So yeah, Kiz is definitely knocking on the door.
